Pretty sure that in Voyager the queen talks about them being once a race that wanted to reach perfection and started augmenting their bodies qith technology

On australian sockets the earth is not exposed, so not as easy

No you are disgusting and should be ashamed of what you said. I hope you don't have any children currently

You should turn off your mobile data when you don't use it. It saves your battery life

https://libraryofbabel.info/

The Library of Babel contains every permutation of 3200 characters pages, organized in rooms, shelves and books. It contains every work ever written by mankind, it contains the (brief) story of how you will die and of all the ways will not die. It is mostly gibberish but you can search for some pecific text. It's not yet completed as that would require all the pages to be combined na permutated between themselves, but there could literally be some new discoveries inside waiting to be read, and of course a whole lot of wrong knowledge

If you really don't have anything metal in your house (metal sinks or any appliance with an outer metal shell that should be grounded), grab an extension cord, cut it and completely remove any cable that is not the yellow and geeen one, that is the earth cable (assuming in Australia that is the correct color scheme), expose that wire and touch it to discharge. Make sure the other cables are in no way exposed. If yoy want to be extra safe, buy a plug and only connect the earth cable.

/s of course, don't do that unless you know your way around AC power

The world is complicated and difficult to navigate. Stories usually give you a simplified world where it's easier to understand and relate to. Just think of most religious stories and myths, they exist to explain something unexplainable (how the world was created) or how to behave in a society (cautionary tales and parabolas)

The most difficult part lf stanrting a car is gettinf the pistons to move, if your engine still has inertia (if you are going downhill for example) you can completely cut the fuel injection and it can starts again because the pistons that are still moving will compress the gas (and for diesel engine that's enough to ignite given enough temperature in the block, for gasoline the spark plugs will work as usual).

Of course if the engine has low inertia (it's spinning too slowly) the car will stall, but probably the electronic injection will compensate.

If you drive manual you can go down a hill without burning a single drop of fuel, not sure if automatic are smart enough to do it.
